After updating the sdk I see change in documentation for hostnic addition and see bonding as a optional parameter, but I dont see it behaving it that way. When I try running the code to create and add NIC with Static IP assigned, I am facing same error where it is asking for bonding parameter and failing due to the same.

Also, I made sure I removed the previous sdk and ensured my program is using the latest sdk.

The error that I get is mentioned below :

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "rtest.py", line 51, in <module>

host.nics.add(params.HostNIC(name = new_hostnic_name, network=network, boot_protocol = 'static', ip= new_ip))

body=ParseHelper.toXml(hostnic))

return self.request('POST', url, body, headers)

last=last)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/infrastructure/proxy.py", line 154, in __doRequest

raise RequestError, response

ovirtsdk.infrastructure.errors.RequestError:

status: 400

reason: Bad Request

detail: HostNIC [bonding.slaves.id|name] required for add

The piece of code that I am using to do this is :

hostid = 0

address = ip_start

new_hostnic_name = 'em3.'+str(vlanId)

for host in hosts :

if host.cluster.id == cluster.id :

hostid = hostid + 1

add_splits = address.split('.')

add_splits[3] = str(200 + hostid)

address= '.'.join(add_splits)

new_ip = params.IP(address = address , netmask = '255.255.255.0' )

host.nics.add(params.HostNIC(name = new_hostnic_name, network=network, boot_protocol = 'static', ip= new_ip))

host.commitnetconfig()

My requirement is that I do not want to using bonding while addition of a new NIC to the host, Also , I want to add the ip address to the new NIC at the time of creation itself.

Thanks Michael,

I had a older version of the python-binding which had bonding in #1 as a compulsory parameter... Seeing your options I updated the sdk and now the error is resolved. I see bonding as an optional param.

Hi Rahul,

#1 is the right place for doing this, see method __doc__ [1]
#2 used for attaching network to NIC, see __doc__ is [2]

* note all methods in sdk well documented describing what
parameters-holder to use and how to fill it.
